DawnWatch - Discover Magazine - " Worrying About Milk. "

 

 

The August issue of DISCOVER MAGAZINE carries an article by Will

Hivley called " Worrying About Milk. " It discusses grave concerns held

by T. Colin Campbell, a nutritional biochemist at Cornell University,

regarding the safety of milk.

 

The article cites various studies which suggest that milk is

carcinogenic. It also takes a brief look at the politics behind the

promotion of milk in our society:

 

" Thanks to Congress, dairy producers enjoy price supports and

government purchase of surplus production. They plow some of their

profits into promotional industry groups that fund research studies,

they educate health professionals about milk, and they provide free

materials to schools suggesting that milk is vital to good nutrition. "

 

This is not an animal rights article; For one thing, it cites many

animal tests. However it provides the perfect opportunity for each

of us to write a line or two to Discover Magazine on the joy of

being vegan!

Note: This article presents arguments, beyond those of compassion, for

veganism rather than vegetarianism. Also, it is a reminder to those of

us who eat soy cheese, to check the label for Casein, the main

carcinogen discussed in the piece. Many soy cheeses contain Casein.

My favorite alternative is Veganrella, which tastes pretty good and

melts beautifully.

 

Yours and the animals,
